A Bangladeshi court has sentenced British MP Tulip Siddiq, niece of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, to two years in prison for alleged abuse of power in the Purbachal New Town project. The verdict also includes Hasina and her sister Sheikh Rehana. Siddiq, 43, was accused of using political influence to secure plots for family members and faces a separate investigation over alleged £4 billion embezzlement linked to the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant project. The Daily Mail first reported the allegations, prompting Siddiq to resign as City Minister. UK media and legal experts suggest that a confirmed conviction could increase pressure on her to resign as MP for Hampstead and Highgate. Questions have also arisen over a London flat she claimed was a family gift, though a UK government probe found no ministerial code breach. British lawyers have raised concerns about the transparency of the Bangladeshi trial and have written to the Bangladesh High Commission seeking clarification.
